Cowboys Unveil World's Biggest HDTV At New Stadium

ARLINGTON (AP) ― Fans in the upper deck of the Dallas Cowboys' new stadium won't have to worry about being so far from the action.

The Cowboys on Thursday unveiled what they're calling the world's largest high-definition TV: a 72-foot tall, 160-foot wide screen suspended over the field.

It extends from 20-yard line to 20-yard line in the $1.1 billion stadium and is 90 feet above the field -- high enough so no punts can hit it, owner Jerry Jones says.

The TV is so big it has 10 levels of catwalks inside, and workers will be inside the board working the controls during games.

The giant screen is sure to light up the 80,000-seat Arlington stadium where the Cowboys are moving this fall. It has 30 million light bulbs.
